Nakamura Keita.

A simple name for a child. However, this child was very special to a few of her friends that she hung around with. The Nakamura family had first met with the Tachibana Family, where she immediately met a boy named Tachibana Makoto. After Keita was able to go and visit Makoto for a while, he introduced Keita into a swimming club that wasn't far from their houses. Along the way, they met another group of kids, Keita being the typical shy one to hide behind the only person she knew amongst the building filled with strangers. "Hey, who are you hiding?"

"Ah, this is my friend Kei-chan. She's really shy."

"Hey, don't be so scared, I'm pretty cool! My name is Rin! And this is Haru!" Keita looked from behind Makoto, looking at the boy with reddish hair and matching eyes, and the other with black hair but really nice blue eyes. She noticed a hand reach out to her, looking up from the hand to notice it belonged to the boy named Haru. She looked at his hand again before her small hand slowly fell upon his, clutching it softly as he gently pulled her out. Keita looked up at him and gave him a small smile along with a soft giggle, making Haru stare at her a bit surprised. Rin grinned and took her other hand, leading her to the pool. "Come on! We're going to have a lot of fun!" He exclaimed, jumping into the pool. Keita stared at Rin, looking to her left as she caught Haru staring at her. He let out a small gasp as his cheeks turned a bit pink and turned away, jumping into the pool as well. Rin and Haru rose to the surface, another splash appearing from the side. Makoto showed up beside them, looking up at the girl who was standing near the edge of the pool. Keita looked down at the three, her smile appearing on her lips.

Within 2 years of time, Rin introduced his sister to Keita who was daily fonded by her personality. Gou would always ask where Keita was and would always want to go visit her house some day. One day, Keita and Gou were sitting next to each other as they sat in the stands of the swimming club. They watched as other kids Keita's age raced and were placed in different places until, the event of the team rely was starting. "Ah..! There's Onii-chan, Kei onee -san." Gou mentioned from the stands. Within those two years, Keita also got into the mood of doing swimming along with them so they can all swim together one day. She's started to get the hang of it, finding out that her new strength was free-style, just like Haru and Rin. She smiled from the stands, waving her hands as they caught sight of them. They all waved, Rin having his usual grin on his face. Keita smiled at the group, the light shade of pink, tinting her cheeks. As Gou watched with excitement as the childhood boys won first place, Keita watched without having to drop her smile at all. Even though she looked at Haru and Rin most of the time, and how she saw Haru being a bit stubborn, all she did was laugh. Within the end, they took their picture and hung it in the hall of fame.

"This is all your fault! How can you think of such a thing, during this time!?"

"You wouldn't understand me, Kimiko!"

"What do you mean!? I thought I did, up until now! What the hell is wrong with you!?" The screams kept going on forever for Keita. All she wanted to do was escape and run to Makoto's house, but she couldn't. No matter how hard she tried, they would always find a way to keep her locked in the house, especially her room. It wan't by choice, however. Keita's parents have been screaming at each other, a week after the tournament that Haru and the others had won. 'I bet I'm making them worry..I haven't seen them for days..' Keita thought, her small body curled up on her bed as she sat there in the dark. She sometimes cried herself to sleep, her parents screams filling the air, and going non stop. She covered her ears as more tears ran down her already stained face, her body leaning until her side landed on her bed, her head landing on her pillow. She hid her face within her hair, and continued to cover her ears, her sobs mixing in with the screams of the adults that were just on the other side of her bedroom door. 'Just make it stop..all of it..'

One week later, the Keita that some people knew at her school, stared at her as if she was some stranger when they first met. Her expression was emotionless and her aura was very dull, what most teachers saw was negative. Later on the day, her parents had got into another argument, talking about the same old usual things. Keita wasn't the bright and smiling Keita anymore. A part of her heart has been crushed. She just wanted her old family back, where they would sit all together and eat dinner, talk about each other's day and smile and laugh. But that wasn't going to happen. It happened a few days later, Keita's parents had gotten into a car accident just on the other side of their neighborhood. That was the day where they were going to file the divorce papers. But, it was strange how it happened. The accident was involved with two emerging cars, both colliding and flipping onto the other side of the road. Both cars, containing one parent. Each holding their part of the divorce papers and their last family photo together. Splattered with their own blood. Keita's had a rough week, a really rough one where she had no more tears to cry. Keita was then transferred to her relatives house which was in America. The day she left for school, she was able to hear about her long time friends that she hasn't seen for almost a month. Rin and Haru's friendship had seemed to go away, along with Rin going to Austaila. Keita sighed as she looked up at the purple and orange colored sky, her hand slowly covering her mouth with the back of her hand. "I'll be back..I promise.." She mumbled as she looked both ways, passing but the Nanase House, and the Tachibana house. She held in her hands, her small suitcase and her plane ticket as she hurried on over to the airport.

Makoto knocked on Keita's door, waiting patiently as he waited for a response. After waiting for a bit and not getting one, Makoto knocked again, making sure he knocked a little bit louder. "Oh, What are you doing, young man?"

"Hm? I'm waiting for my friend. I haven't seen her for a month and I just want to make sure she's alright."

"Are you friends with the previous owner of this house?" Makoto looked at the old lady a bit confused. He tilted his head to the side, clearly showing that he wasn't understanding. "'Previous?' What.."

"The owners to that home has died into a car accident a week ago."

"E-Eh? Then..where is their kid..? Where did Kei-chan go?" He asked eagerly, looking at the old lady shocked. He moved away from the front door and approached the elder, looking up at her just a bit.

"The child? No one has seen the child after the accident. She's been reported missing for 2 weeks now.." Makoto was shocked. He quickly thanked the elder and ran back to his house, opening and closing the door quickly as he tried to take off his shoes as fast as he could. "Makoto? You're back?"

"Mom! Did you know about Mr. and Mrs. Nakamura?"

"What about them?" she looked at her son a bit confused until he walked up to her, panting a little bit from running. Makoto looked at his mother, his expression immediately changing into worry and sadness. "I-Is..Kei-chan, gone..?" His mother looked at him with wide eyes, her eyes quickly filling with tears. Makoto saw this, making his own eyes widen. She fell to her knees. hugging Makoto from the shrunken height. Makoto couldn't believe what was happening. Makoto stood there as his mother cried on his shoulder, hugging him tighter and tighter. Makoto looked at the ground, trying his best to hold back his tears. But they flowed faster than usual. 'First Rin..now Kei-chan..why does it have to happen to us..?' Makoto thought as he burst into tears along with his mother, his once rosy cheeks, staining themselves with tears of sadness and pain.

Haru looked out the window, watching as the rain poured and some hitting his glass window. Haru looked away from the window to look down at a school photo, containing everyone in it. He stared at a particular person, a person that was standing beside him as she smiled so naturally. He gently pressed his finger over her, tears falling and onto the picture as his other hand gripped the other side of the photo. He threw the photo to the other side of the room, leaving the sides with a few tears and the crumbled side alone as he tried to think nothing. He curled up in his room, his face hidden in between his knees. "Where are you..?" he called out to himself quietly, pondering about the small smiling burette and the crumpled reddish haired boy on the other side.
